STA510A
44 V, 5.5 A, quad power half-bridge
Datasheet - production data
Description
The STA510A is a monolithic, quad, half-bridge
stage in multipower BCD technology. The device
can be used as dual-bridge or reconfigured, by
connecting the CONFIG pin to the VDD pin, as
single-bridge with double current capability, or as
half-bridge (binary mode) with half current
capability.
• Minimum input/output pulse width distortion
The device is particularly designed to make the
output stage of a stereo all-digital high-efficiency
(DDX) amplifier, which employs a pulse-width
modulator driver. The STA510A is capable of
delivering an output power of 50 W into 3 Ω loads
with THD = 10% and VCC = 36 V. In single BTL
configuration the device can deliver 200 W into a
3 Ω load with THD = 10% and VCC = 36 V.
• 150 mΩ RDS(on) complementary DMOS output
stage
The input pins have a threshold proportional to VL
pin voltage.

Technical information
Technical information
The STA510A is a dual channel H-bridge that is able to deliver 100 W per channel (into RL =
6 Ω with THD = 10% and VCC = 36 V) of audio output power very efficiently. It operates in
conjunction with a pulse-width modulator driver such as the STA321 or STA309A.
The STA510A converts ternary-, phase-shift- or binary-controlled PWM signals into audio
power at the load. It includes a logic interface, integrated bridge drivers, high efficiency
MOSFET outputs and thermal and short-circuit protection circuitry. In differential mode
(ternary, phase-shift or binary differential), two logic level signals per channel are used to
control high-speed MOSFET switches to connect the speaker load to the input supply or to
ground in a bridge configuration, according to the damped ternary modulation operation.
In binary mode, both full bridge and half bridge modes are supported. The STA510A
includes overcurrent and thermal protection as well as an undervoltage lockout with
automatic recovery. A thermal warning status is also provided.

4.1
Logic interface and decode
The STA510A power outputs are controlled using one or two logic-level timing signals. In
order to provide a proper logic interface, the VL input must operate at the same voltage as
the DDX control logic supply.
DocID11077 Rev 4

Technical information
4.2
STA510A
Protection circuitry
The STA510A includes protection circuitry for overcurrent and thermal overload conditions.
A thermal warning pin (THWARN, pin 28, open drain MOSFET) is activated low when the IC
temperature exceeds 130 °C, just in advance of thermal shutdown. When a fault condition is
detected an internal fault signal immediately disables the output power MOSFETs, placing
both H-bridges in a high-impedance state. At the same time the open-drain MOSFET of pin
FAULT (pin 27) is switched on.
There are two possible modes subsequent to activating a fault.
4.3
•
Shutdown mode: with pins FAULT (with pull-up resistor) and TRISTATE separate, an
activated fault disables the device, signalling a low at pin FAULT output. The device
may subsequently be reset to normal operation by toggling pin TRISTATE from high to
low to high using an external logic signal.
•
Automatic recovery mode: This is shown in the applications circuits below where pins
FAULT and TRISTATE are connected together to a time-constant circuit (R59 and
C58). An activated fault forces a reset on pin TRISTATE causing normal operation to
resume following a delay determined by the time constant of the circuit. If the fault
condition persists, the circuit operation repeats until the fault condition is cleared. An
increase in the time constant of the circuit produces a longer recovery interval. Care
must be taken in the overall system design not to exceed the protection thesholds
under normal operation.
Power outputs
The STA510A power and output pins are duplicated to provide a low-impedance path for the
device bridged outputs. All duplicate power, ground and output pins must be connected for
proper operation.
The PWRDN or TRISTATE pin should be used to set all power MOSFETs to the highimpedance state during power-up until the logic power supply, VL, has settled.
4.4
Parallel output / high current operation
When using the DDX mode output, the STA510A outputs can be connected in parallel in
order to increase the output current capability to a load. In this configuration the STA510A
can provide up to 200 W into a 3-Ω load.
This mode of operation is enabled with the pin CONFIG (pin 24) connected to pin VDD. The
inputs are joined so that IN1A = IN1B, IN2A = IN2B and similarly the outputs OUT1A =
OUT1B, OUT2A = OUT2B as shown in Figure 9.
4.5
Output filtering
A passive 2nd-order filter is used on the STA510A power outputs to reconstruct the analog
audio signal. System performance can be significantly affected by the output filter design
and choice of passive components. A filter design for 6- or 8-Ω loads is shown in the
application circuit of Figure 8, and for 4-Ω loads in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
